Abstract: An example system includes a node and a scheduler. The scheduler is configured to deploy a first workload for execution on the node. The scheduler is also configured to reserve a first amount of resources of the node for the first workload based on a determination that the first workload is running in a transient state. The scheduler is also configured to reduce the first amount of the resources of the node reserved for the first workload based on a determination that the first workload is running in a non-transient state.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an integration system is configured to define a first network of computer systems and within the first network establish communication protocols and security requirements. In various embodiments, the architecture can improve over conventional security, data redundancy, and improve communication/execution efficiency over various conventional systems, approaches, and databases. According to some embodiments, the first network is tailored to perform distributed operations on behalf of end-users, and for example, integrate the distributed operations transparently into existing systems, so that the new functionality is seamless and indistinguishable from native data/database operations from the end-user perspective.

Abstract: An integration system is provided that defines a first network of computer systems and within the first network establishes communication protocols and security requirements. The architecture includes a layered data model, where the architecture and/or model enable improvement over conventional security, data redundancy, and further improves communication/execution efficiency over various conventional systems, approaches, and databases. The first network can be tailored to perform distributed operations on behalf of end-users, and for example, integrate the distributed operations transparently into existing systems, so that the new functionality is seamless and indistinguishable from native data/database operations from the end-user perspective. The data model can be configured to associate layers of the model with respective systems and distribute the operations such that real world analogs for the data are held across many systems (e.g., specific systems in the architecture).

Abstract: There is provided an improvement for developing an application between an application server and one of multiple client devices where the application server is disposed remotely of the one of multiple client devices. In one example, an application behavior model (ABM) is produced and stored at the application server. Using an output corresponding with the one of multiple devices, program code for a client application is produced from a selected one of several configurable templates. Selected input, generated with the ABM and the program code, is received at the application server to cause a sequence of processing steps to be performed with the application server. In another example, the ABM is received at the one of multiple client devices, the one of multiple client devices including a user interface (UI). The ABM and client application are used to render a first page at the UI for providing an action identifier.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system provide for externalizing data in process execution environments. The method includes extracting a data model from a domain specification. The data model includes a set of business objects, at least some of the business objects being linked to a domain-specific activity type by a business object relation. A database is generated from the data model which is accessible through an application program interface.
